Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 619 Choice
The generals in the big tent were divided into two groups, each with their own rhetoric, and they couldn't argue for a while.

As for Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, after sitting firmly in charge of the case, he only silently paid attention to the dispute below without saying a word.

His face was a little tangled, and it seemed difficult to make a decision.

It is true that the fourth prince of Yan Kingdom is not a fool. How could he not see what Zhu Xiuyuan had in mind.

Moreover, he might end up in vain, not only losing the opportunity to break through Chen Guo's capital city, but also not getting the divine thunder formula.

To withdraw troops, or not to withdraw troops, seems to be a simple order.

However, in the long run, this is the choice between "winning the Chen Kingdom" and "winning the world".

The risks are very high...how to choose?Zhao Pu hasn't made up his mind yet...

As time goes by, the battle situation on the north side of the capital has undergone new changes.

"I report to the Marquis that the Yan army and the rebels are crossing the river in large numbers, totaling about 8 people, and they are said to be [-]. Since there is no one to stop them on the river, [-] people have landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River!"

"In the camp in the north of the city, ten thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp have been waiting by the river. As soon as the Yan army and the rebels landed, they fought with the soldiers from the Beijing camp. The battle on the south bank of the Yangtze River was extremely fierce!"

In Zhu Xiuyuan's big tent, a scout came with such news.

"Although the [-] soldiers in the capital camp are brave, they cannot stop the steady stream of Yan troops and rebels! How is the defense of the capital?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

"Reporting to the Marquis, Your Majesty has ordered the soldiers of the Divine Thunder Army and the Royal Guards to garrison the city wall on the north side of the capital and be ready!" the scout replied.

"Where is Zhao Pu? Is there still no movement?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked again.

"Reporting to your lord, there is still no movement from the four princes of the Yan Kingdom. They have neither ordered to withdraw their troops, nor have they crossed the Yangtze River to the south to attack the city with the Yan army in the north of the Yangtze River." The scout replied.

"Understood, you go down first!"

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand, and when the scouts exited the tent, Zhu Xiuyuan touched his chin and thought: "If Zhao Pu was determined to attack the capital and then destroy the Chen Kingdom, then he should have sent troops and crossed the Yangtze River to go south."

"Since Zhao Pu hasn't made any move, it means he is hesitating!"

After thinking about this, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but relax a little.

Zhu Xiuyuan's delaying strategy and the comparison between "winning the Chen Kingdom" and "winning the world" were like a seed that had been planted in Zhao Pu's heart.

Zhao Pu has always been ambitious. Although he knows that the risk of withdrawing his troops is very high and he may not get anything, it is really difficult for him to cross the threshold of "taking over the world"!
The temptation of "sweeping all the countries, dominating the world, and leaving a name in history" is really great. An ambitious man like Zhao Pu, knowing full well that this is a trap, might jump into it!

Zhao Pu remained motionless, neither ordering the withdrawal of troops nor sending troops to cross the river south, which shows that Zhu Xiuyuan's delaying strategy worked.

But it's not enough!
"I'll see how long you can endure!"

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly smiled, took a sip of tea, and took out a piece of pastry. This was a gift from the people in the capital before leaving the city. Although the taste was not very good, it was safe and non-toxic, so you can eat it with confidence.

Chen Kingdom Palace.

Please stay in the main hall.

When the news came that the Yan army and the rebels from Jiangbei had crossed the river and fought to the death with the soldiers of the Beijing camp, the whole hall was filled with gloom and gloom again.

Chen Huang sat slumped on the dragon chair. He was exhausted, his hair was messy, and he looked very decadent.

Next to her was Concubine You. She was still very noble and well-dressed, but her face was pale. She wanted to comfort Emperor Chen, but she still didn't know how to speak.

The ministers below no longer cared about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, and they all whispered to each other and discussed.

Even the timid one, when he heard the news that the Yan army was crossing the river, was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell to the floor of the hall, his limbs trembling...

"Hey...my Chen Kingdom...is it really God who wants to destroy our Chen Kingdom?" A minister muttered in a low voice, but Emperor Chen above the imperial steps could hear it, but Emperor Chen didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty should keep Uncle Jiang Cheng and not let him leave the city!"

"Yeah, now that the Yan army from Jiangbei has crossed the river, they are about to attack the city gate... It seems that the strategy of slowing down the army has not worked." If the army has divine thunder..."

"Hey, it's too late to say this now. Once the Yan army breaks through the city wall, our country, Chen State, will be in danger... Hey!"

The ministers talked a lot, sighing and shaking their heads as they talked, it can be said that the emperor and his ministers were both sad!
Guabu Yan army camp.

Chinese army tent.

Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, was still struggling, and the generals below were also still arguing.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, please quickly order the withdrawal of troops. Guabu is still forty or fifty miles away from the capital. The delivery of military orders is a little slow. If it is a step too late, once the capital is breached, there will be no more divine thunder in this world!" There was a general! Cry out in pain.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you must not do it, you must not do it!" Some people objected, "Aren't there many experts in our camp? Why not send out experts to restrain the God of Thunder, and then attack the city while asking for the formula of the God of Thunder? Isn’t it wonderful to achieve two birds with one stone in this way?”

After the Shuai case, Zhao Pu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the word "master". He seemed to have remembered something.

Zhao Pu suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The prince..."

"Report... to His Highness the Fourth Prince..." However, a scout suddenly appeared at this time, interrupting Zhao Pu's words.

"Our Jiangbei army, together with the Jiangdu King's army, has killed all the soldiers in the capital camp on the north side of the capital. Now our army is storming the city gate."

"The Chen Kingdom's Divine Thunder Army is really powerful. As soon as the new weapons came out, our Jiangbei army suffered heavy casualties. However, the Divine Thunder Army is still small in number. Our Jiangbei army has been divided into three groups and is going to outflank the east and west walls of the capital!"

After the scout finished speaking, he looked excited. After all, he kept winning.

Now that Chen Guo's capital city is about to be destroyed and the Yan army is about to win a great victory, the scout, as a soldier of the Yan army, is naturally happy.

However, the scouts saw that His Highness the fourth prince's face changed drastically, and he didn't look like he was overjoyed at all.

"Come here, please pass on this prince's order to withdraw immediately. No matter it is our Jiangbei Yan army or the King of Jiangdu, we must withdraw our troops immediately. Go quickly without any mistake!"

Zhao Pu's voice was stern and he was very excited, as if if he was one step too late, he would lose a huge good thing.

"Ah? This..."

The scout was stunned, half-kneeling on the floor, looking at Zhao Pu, without reacting for a long time.

"Go quickly, or the military law will serve you!" Zhao Pu was furious, as if this scout was a stumbling block preventing him from "getting the world".

"Yes, your subordinates obey!"

The scouts did not dare to neglect and immediately went down to deliver Zhao Puxin's order.

In the big tent, it was also quiet. The generals looked at each other. Some were happy, while others shook their heads secretly.

However, Zhao Pu's order had been issued, and as generals, it was hard for them to say anything else.

"Send an order to invite all the masters in the camp. This prince has something to do and I need to personally explain it to you!" Zhao Pu added.

At the same time, Zhu Xiuyuan was in the "Chinese Army Tent".

The news that the Yan army and rebels in the north of Jiangbei had killed more than [-] soldiers in the Beijing camp and were storming the capital also reached here at the same time.

"The siege has begun!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked and stood up.

He couldn't sit still, walked around with his hands behind his back, looking restless.

"How did Zhao Pu react?" Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't remember exactly how many times he had asked this question.
